Anime[]

Mesozoic Meltdown[]

In There's No Place Like Rome, Piatnitzkysaurus was summoned by Shear's Yangchuanosaurus though Venom Fang in the Ancient Roman Colosseum to attack Chomp. It breathed a purple mist at him, but Chomp dodged it. Chomp then knocked Piatnitzkysaurus away and defeated it with Thunder Bazooka. Its card was presumably reclaimed by Max.

In Bad Deal, a group of differently-colored wild Piatnitzkysaurus were seen running from the forest fire that Gigas started with Magma Blaster in the Jurassic Period.

Character Design[]

Personality[]

Not much is known about the personality of Piatnitzkysaurus since it appeared only briefly in the episode, but it acted as a Move Card dinosaur normally would, assisting whoever summoned it, although it was a Space Pirate dinosaur. It appears to be very aggressive, but is neither a particularly good nor a strong fighter as it was unable to launch a successful attack against Chomp and proved to be more of an annoyance than an actual danger.

Trivia[]

  • Dr. Taylor's arcade comments:
    • Japanese: 肉食恐竜で身軽な体をしている。集団でえものをおそっていたようだ。
    • English: A lightweight, agile carnivore that apparently hunted in groups.
    • Taiwanese: 身輕如燕的肉食恐龍。據說會以群體行動來進行獵食。
  • DS Game Encyclopedia entry: A carnivore with a nimble body. It apparently attacks its prey in packs.
  • When released as a Wind Dinosaur, Piatnitzkysaurus was one of the last new dinosaurs to appear in the Japanese arcade game (along with Edmontosaurus, Metriacanthosaurus, Agustinia, and Olorotitan).
  • As a Dinosaur Card, Piatnitzkysaurus was the last new Wind Dinosaur in Dinosaur King.
  • Oddly, it is the only one of the last wave of new Dinosaurs to not have appeared on a Move Card in the previous wave, despite itself having been part of a Move Card previously, owing to Normal Moves not appearing in the previous wave.
  • In the franchise, Piatnitzkysaurus is portrayed with having four digits, but in reality it only had three on each hand.
  • When Piatnitzkysaurus uses the Move Venom Fang as Wind Dinosaur, another Piatnitzkysaurus is summoned, although the dinosaur could do the Move itself.
